What's nice about Yahoo.com is that they give you 6mb
of storage free and they don't put restrictions on
what your email name can be...When I originally wanted
the "tech_ed" name, I tried all the big names, Excite,
Bigfoot, AOL, MSN...none would give me a name with the
word "tech" in it because they thought I would use the
address to impersonate one of the services technical
people. Only Yahoo allowed me to use the word "tech"
in my email address. And unlike MSN, I have never lost
ANY email in my yahoo account (and I reguarly go over
my 6mb limit...sometimes as high as 7.5mb!) I guess
I've been a Yahoo email user for the last 8 years
now...never once had a problem!
